Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker of twenty-plus years and have worked with a variety of patients in different levels of care in mental health treatment. I've also worked in medical social work, with a variety of patients in oncology, physical rehabilitation and dialysis. In this way, I have a robust understanding of both the physical and mental aspects of my clients.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I like to create a tailored plan to set the trajectory for follow-up sessions. In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, review the specific challenges you're facing and create a meaningful treatment plan.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My sense of humor, empathy and longstanding professional experience are my greatest strengths that can help ease the client in a supportive way

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT for treatment of depression, eating disorders, anxiety and poor self-esteem

Humanistic

I emphasize the importance of being your true self in order to reach fulfillment and self-actualization. This is based on the idea that everyone has their own unique way of looking at the world through their choices and actions.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I use a goal-directed collaborative approach through direct observation of clients' responses to a series of targeted questions.

Psychoeducation

With much experience across multiple medical social work subspecialties, I provide tailored intervention with information and support to help patients and their loved ones understand and cope with various illnesses.

Compassion Focused

I believe it is important for clients to feel more free to move towards taking responsibility and learning to cope with presenting issues
